Why Cat Grass?

You should consider having some cat grass available for your cat to eat for help in taking care of hairballs and adding extra fiber to their diet.  Cat grass is beneficial to a cat’s digestive system, contains extra nutrients for optimal health,  and offers chlorophyll, a natural breath deodorant.

You can get this cat grass from pet stores and grow it in a specific area of your property where you know that it will be free from poisons and chemicals.

If the cat gets into the habit of using this grass rather than any other plants on the property to help regurgitate these hairballs, then this reduces the chance of it eating something that could be poisonous and cause it to become ill.

The best type of grass to purchase or grow for your feline is oat grass.  It is cheap and easy to grow, and tends to be less irritating to a cat’s sensitive system than wheat grass.

It is quite a good idea to get your cat accustomed to eating a little bit of greens while they are still young and you can do this by putting some oat grass in a food processor or blender and mix it up fine enough to be added to tinned cat food.

These little bits of extra vegetables that you can add to the diet will help to balance any missing nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the rest of the food they eat.
